NEW YORK SOLID FOR 1855.
CLEVELAND AND HILL WILL CARRY
THE STATE By $4,000.
The Opinion of State Treasurer Fitzger-
aid ON the Outlook-The Admin
istration Gains-the Conf
dence Of the Business
Community.

CHICAGO, Dec. State Treasurer
Fitzgerald, of New York, who is Wis
iting in this city, was interviewed
by a reporter for local paper as to
the political situation in his State.
1--WE have leader" he said. sin
David B. Hill, of whom the demo
Gratis may well feel proud, and while
/ have wanted him for President
next year we are satisfied to wait.
He never breaks promise, and he
and President Cleveland are the
warmest friends, and next year they
will carry the State by about 50.000
No man the republicans may nomi-
cate can beat him, and we will also
carry New Jersey. To show You the
feeling, went to New York bank
in which | have a State deposit, and
the President told me be had always
contributed from $4,000 to $4,000
to the republican campaigns because
he was afraid of a change in the
Presidency. Now that there has
been a change, he says that Mr..
Cleveland is sound on the financial
question and on all that affects the
business interests, and he will CON
tribute from $1,000 to $4,000 to
help elect him. This is only one in
stance. In the last campaign we
were afraid of the stay-at-home vot-
ers, of which We have a greater
number than the republicans. The
republicans always have their or
gan:zation, which we have not, ex-
cept in, New York city, and we did
not receive the mugwump vote.
Notwithstanding all this, we have
a plurality of 10000, and that, too,
in view of the fact that the George,
or fourth party, polled 10000 votes.
You must remember that when Gov
ernor Hill ran and carried the State
there was no George party, yet he
barely had plurality of about TO-
600. In view of this, we made won
derful gains, and if ever we get a re-
apportionment, as we were entitled
to two years ago, under the census,
the democrats will show the repub-
licans what the political complexion
of the State is. Mr.. Cleveland will
get the mugvump vote"
"Did Col. Fellows candidacy in
jure the State ticket?"
mo; it helped it.
"Who will be nominated for Vice
PresidentT'
"Col. Villas, Gen. Black or some
other Indiana man."
"Will the President influence tariff
legislation this winter"
81 think there is an understanding
between him and Mr. Carlisle that
something must be done to readjust
the tariff and reduce the treasury
surplus"
ut has been claimed that the
Irish voters, approaching the fact
that Blaine was not responsible for
the Rum, Romanism and Rebellion
episode, had returned to and would
vote for him."
"The republicans may have made
few converts, but we have the rank
and file and New York City is thor
oughly organized"

ming time was, therefore, made at
the rate of thirty-nine miles per
hour, an exceedingly high rate of
speed to maintain with so large a
train and over such grades as inter-
vene between Baltimore and Martins
burg
Two still more remarkable per-
formances by the same engine were
made in taking Limited Express

CONGRESS-.


WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 5.-A
large crowd was at the capitol to-
day to see the Fiftieth Congress or
ganize. The galleries of both the
House and Senate were filled long
before noon arrived. When the re-
spective bodies were called to order,
there was a jam at the Senate end in
anticipation of a storm when the
question of seating Faulkner, of
West Virginia, and Turpie, of Indi-
ana, was reached. But in this the
visitors and all others who shared
the same expectation were greatly
disappointed. There was not even
breeze.
The air of the Chamber was fra
grant with the odor of fresh flowers,
nearly every member of the Senate
having been remembered by their
friends.
The credentials of the various
Senators-elect were read, including
the certificate of election of Cover
nor Wilson of the appointment by
him of Daniel b. Lucas TO fill the
vacancy caused by the expiration of
the term of Senator Camden, and the
voluminous document containing the
certificate of the Governor of West
Virginia of a summary of the pro-
ceedings by which the Legislature
in special session elected Chas. j.
Faulkner.
Mr.. Hoar objected for the time be-
ing to administering the oath of of
fee to Mr.. Faulkner. He under
stood that whatever question arose
on the credentials themselves the
whole proceedings of the Legislature
and the history Of the case being
there disclosed and fully recited, as
sumed that, in accordance with the
usages of the Senate, he would him
self be mer,ber of the Committee
on Privileges and Elections, he gave
the assurance that the question
should be dealt with at the earliest
possible moment, so that the gentle
men entitled to the seat would be
able to enter upon the discharge of
his duties without unnecessary
delay.
The Register representative saw
Senators Kemna and Faulkner i'm
mediately after the proceedings and
the former verified the surmise that
the course was taken by mutual
consent on the part of both parties.
He said that it was the opinion that
in view of the reading of the Lucas
protest to-day it would not comport
with the dignity of the Senate to
insist upon the swearing in of Faulk-
ner. To-day the case will be con-
sidered just as soon as the Election
Committee is organized, and Kenna
says he does not believe there is a
Senator on either side who is oppos-
ed to Mr.. Faulkner taking his seat.
Mr.. Faulkner is not in the least dis
turbed by the result of to-day's
work.

The following from the Baltimore
Sun might be- profitably read by
many West Virginians: 1.-THE Fred
erick lynching and its sequel carry
with them an impressive lesson to
the courts of the State, showing as
they do, the great necessity for the
prompt and energetic enforcement
Of the laws. The delays in certain
fragrant cases in recent years have
had a bad effect, affording to the
rash and incorporate sort of ex-
cuse for mob violence on the ground
that the offenders are not likely to
meet with speedy or adequate pun
ishment if tried by our regularly
constituted tribunals. This defect
in our administration of justice
should be remedied without delay.
1t is standing invitation to disor-
der, and a really serious menace to
the peace and good order of society
in every county in the State In
the meantime all good citizens
should cooperate in the effort to dis
countenance mob violence of any
sort, whether it has or has not some
apparent justification in the charac-
ter Of the offense, or the probable in
adequacy of the punishment to be
procured at the hands of the courts.
The preservation of order is the first
consideration, and shouldbe insisted
upon by all who have the best inter-
est Of their community at heart.''

Editor Hart, of the Intelligencer,
will deliver a lecture to the students
of the University tomorrow night.
We venture to predict that he will
say something that is entertaining
and edifying, and say it well. He
is not only glib writer, but he is
by no means lacking in the qualities
of an orator. AS the lecture plat
form will preclude any indulgence
of party politics, even if he were so
inclined both-democrats and repub-
licans can unite in giving Bro. Hart
hearty hearing and we trust he
will have rousing audience--as he
doubtless will.

Every body in West Virginia
realizes or ought to at least the fact
that we have to depend largely or
altogether on foreign capital to
develop and open up the resources
of the State, hence the great neces-
sity of treating capital invested in
the State with justice and fairness.
Advantages ought not be taken I'M
der the laws to pursue toward railroad
companies legalized system of rob-
berry in procuring rights of way DC,
making them pay unreasonable and
extortionate prices. The Constitu-
ton of the State says that private
property can not be taken for public
use without just compensation. A
just compensation ought in all cases
to be obtained; then railroads cannot
complain. We have heard of some
instances (recently) where unjust
and extortionate values were fixed
under the law. This will not do.
1t causes capitalists to be chary and
prevents them from investing in the
State. Capital invested in railroads
is entitled to the same degree ofjust-
ice that is melted out to capital invest
ed in other enterprises.

the land policy of the government,
tells only what the public already
knows and presents no adequate
remedies. This is scant justice to
the land policy of the administra-
ton.
1t was met at the outset by two
obstacles. First, the laws of the
land, and second the rulings and
settled policy of the land depart
ment in the interest of the corpora
tions and land grabpers, all enacted
or made under republican admins
trations. The Cleveland admins
tration has made short work of the
latter on the line suggested by the
Guilford Miller letter of President
Cleveland. Orders have been issued
and are now the law of the land of
fee, revoking the republican edicts
reserving lands within the railroad
indemnity limits from settlement,
and these lands have been restored
to the public domain and settlement.
The amount of land thus restored is
officially stated at 81, 1886 acres.
This is an area nearly equal to that
of the State of Indiana That is
something, certainly, although the
contemporary, probably without in
vestigation, is disposed to regard it
as ELAINE and impotent conclusion
to the Secretary's brilliant prom
ises." 1t is enough to afford hun
bred acre farms to 213,263 persons,
and subsist population Of 2,OO0,-
600.
The great point, however, is that
this land policy reversed that of re-
publican administrations devised in
the interest of land grabbing and
corporations. It returns to the pol.
icy of distributing the public lands
among the people.
The Secretary points out that in
laws passed by the republican Con
gress and approved by republican
Presidents, it was made the duty OF
the Secretary of the Interior to with
draw from market the lands granted
to five Northwestern railroad corpor-
atoms. These did not come under
the rule making the withdrawal OF
idemnity lands discretionary with
the Secretary. 1t was an iron-clad
grant, so to speak, and if any rem
edy exists it must be applied by
Congress.
This land policy of the Cleveland
administration, so Numerically OPP.
posite to that of republican admin.
istrations, originated with the presi
dent; and the Secretary of the Inter
ior and the land commissioner were
merely the agents to execute. II
briefly outlined in the Presidents
inaugural, and more fully set forth il
subsequent messages and especially
in the Guilford Miller letter. il
looks to retaining all unearnet
land grants, the restoration to settle
ment of indemnity land, and the re
peal or modification of the pre- emp
ton, the timber culture and the DIES
ert land laws, so that they canno
be made to cover, as has become tn,
rule to large extent, the fraudulen
acquisition and transfer to syndi
Gates and corporations of great bod
les Of the public lands. The demo
cratic house at it's last session pass
ed a law to correct this monste
wrong, but the republican Senate
under the control of the corporation
barons, refused to act ON it, Tn
aggressive policy of the administra
ton, that has awakened a stron,
public sentiment, however, will com
pei action by the coming Congress
-Pittsburg Post.
